Virtual Ceremony - Friday, June 18, at 12 p.m.
The 56th SPSCC Commencement Ceremony will be celebrated virtually on June 18 via SPSCC's YouTube and Facebook channels. Nearly 1,500 graduates will be honored at the virtual event.
The virtual ceremony will have many parts of a traditional commencement, like an address from the president and faculty members. It will also celebrate graduates with virtual diplomas while names are read aloud and other exciting celebration videos.
